The City of Bunbury will deliver our summer events program, 'Summer Lovin’, launching this November to support events and activation between the 1st December 2024 to 31 January 2025.
The program will contribute to the activation of Bunbury's CBD and iconic waterways, with a series of community events and activities for residents and visitors to connect and participate, achieving a strong sense of community and belonging.
The objectives of the program are to:
- Activate strategic locations in Bunbury.
- Increase pride and a sense of belonging in the community.
- Promote Bunbury as a hub of culture and creativity.
- Support community and business-led events.
- Increase visitation to the City Centre.
- Strategically align events under a common theme.
The Place Activation Team is looking for community groups, event organisers and local businesses to develop independent events and activities that align with Summer Lovin’ criteria. The team welcomes new initiatives and previously delivered events and or activities to apply. Check out the following criteria, and if your proposal meets these criteria, please apply.
- Occurs on spaces identified for activation, including Koombana Foreshore, Koombana North, Jetty Baths, Back Beach, Koolambidi Woola, Leschenault Inlet, Bicentennial Square, Graham Bricknell Music Shell, Queens Gardens, Guppy Park or the CBD.
- Is open, inclusive and accessible to all members of the public to attend.
- Contributes to a healthy, active and or connected community.
- For businesses, the 'Summer Lovin' campaign presents a unique opportunity to step outside your ‘business as usual' activity. We encourage you to consider pop-up or temporary activations. For instance, a café could host a coffee and craft event, or a yoga teacher could lead a class in a local park. Let your creativity shine!
